The planet has become a barren wasteland. Heff Beastansky is one furious cow. Basically the plot of this episode is that they drive really fast, play electic guitars that double as flamethrowers, and employ a bunch of incredibly impractical battle tactics. Then the truck breaks down and they almost get clobbered. But they fix it just in time for more fast driving and flamethrower guitars. Repeat ad nauseum.

Redemption pretty much always gets it right. And this exclusive private barrel is no exception. High-proof, high-rye, MGP bourbon? Yes please! And for under $50? Fuggetaboutit!

This one comes out of the glass very spicy, with tons of spearmint meeting black peppercorns, hot chiles, some big saddle leather, root beer, and little bursts of baking spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. It's a lovely nose with a lot of punch. The palate doubles down with wood, leather, spicy peppers, and some nougat/caramel. It's very drinkable with a warming finish that mixes in some citrus & garden flower notes.

A total no-brainer here, delicious barrel at a total steal!
